contribute we should establish some ground rules.
Task
•
Take a few minutes with a partner to go over your rules from the last topic and
come up with any amendments you think are important to helping you feel
confident to contribute in your Life Studies lessons?
•
Now feed back to the class.

A boy and his father are in their car, travelling to the swimming pool
one Saturday afternoon.

On the way, they have an accident and the father is seriously
injured.
•

surgery.

What do we mean by gender?
How you think and feel about yourself;
your internal sense of who you are.
How you display your gender; what name
and pronouns you use, how you act, dress,
behave and interact with the world.
Agree or
Disagree

You can tell someone’s gender
identity just by looking at them.
Further questions:
Do we make a decision based on a person’s gender identity or their gender
expression?
Do we make assumptions about their gender identity?

majority culture have
relaxed over time, but
they still exist..

examples?

of how people should
behave based on
their gender.

these gender stereotypes
affect us?
